Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate & India Theme Week.

Today's 70% Dark Chocolate + Spicy Chai (bar) was from BOHO Chocolate (Florence, MA).

Aroma and flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate; fragrant star anise; and a touch of cayenne pepper heat. 

The star anise (essential oil) dominated this chocolate. If you like star anise, you're in luck. If you'd prefer tasting more of a blend of traditional chai spices (that includes ginger, cardamom, cinnamon), you may feel like you've missed out.*

Texture: This well-tempered bar broke with a hard snap, and had a hearty, smooth melt and mouthfeel.

Ingredients: "Organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, organic cardamom, organic cinnamon, organic anise star essential oil, organic ginger, organic cayenne pepper, organic black pepper."

Allergen-related information: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts and milk on shared equipment."

*I enjoy the judicious use of star anise in many dishes; but a little goes a long way for me.
